Self-Seleted Response: Fast and Furious 7



                 I would like to discuss Fast and Furious 7, the last of the Fast and Furious series. The Movie ads deemed it, "One last ride," which is sadly makes you think because of the death of Paul Walker. You could tell in parts of the movie that it wasn't actually him because he died during the shooting of the movie. I believe they used his brother and did some special effects in order to display his face. It was kind of weird because in those certain scenes, he would not be talking. It was really said because Paul Walker's character was the quintessential good guy, there was nothing bad you could say about him. Paul had a child in real life and in the movie, so it was really emotional seeing him for the first time in the movie driving a mini-van. The scene in which he first appeared made it seem like he would be racing a fast car, and everyone was cheering at the sight of his face. Then the camera retracted and you saw Paul Walker dropping his child at school. That made everyone really emotional. I also thought it was really cool how they linked the previous movies to the plot of events. It was kind of like the last Final Destination, where all of the events combined together created a prelude to the initial one. Though it was not exactly the case in this movie, certain live events in the movie were actually intertwined to the plot of some of the previous movies. All in all, it was a great experience.
